Brie Bites

by Pam on November 4, 2009

We had friends over for an appetizer party and since I was going to be making a few dishes, I wanted them all to be quick, simple and tasty. I have seen recipes for these little brie bites on the Internet for a long time and I was excited to finally make them. These bites were a big hit with everyone, including the kids, and they disappeared quickly.

2 packages of mini phyllo shells

8 oz brie cheese, double cream

Raspberry preserves

Apricot preserves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the mini shells on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Carefully cut the rind off of the brie. Cut the brie into 1/2 inch cubes and put one into each shell. Top each brie bite with either apricot or raspberry preserves. Bake in the oven for 6-7 minutes or until the brie has melted and the phyllo shells are golden brown. Enjoy.

Pam… I love hor'dourves and appetizers. I've sometimes just wanted to fix several ~ all to myself ~ and enjoy each delectable morsel. Great idea with the puff shells filled with all the good things in your recipe. Thanks!

I was just lamenting, to myself, that I don't make many appetizers. These are gorgeous! I was able to can homemade preserves this summer, including the two flavors that you made. These will be perfect for Thanksgiving. Thanks, Pam!

I've made these with gorgonzola, dried cranberries, chopped apply & walnuts. They were such a hit!

The hardest part was finding those Phyllo shells. I'm in southern California and the regular grocery stores didn't have them (Ralphs, Alberston's, Stater Bros.) but the high end store, Gelson's, did have them.

I love brie, but the rind off of the brie is not my favor thing to do. any suggestion on how to get the rind off or another cheese maybe. going to do this a Christmas time with hot red and green pepper jelly
